[Ag-eq] Beeautiful fruits and veggies

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Danielle.
Some fruits and veggies are as beautiful as flowers.  My small peach tree is 
very lovely.  In the spring, it's covered with flowers, then it puts out 
long, graceful leaves, and has lots of small peaches.
Blueberries are also very ornamental, with flowers, fruit, and reddish 
winter twigs.  Then there are eggplant, and some very interesting beans. 
And, to me, corn looks a lot like ornamental millet.  I also read that some 
people plant rhubarb in the flowerbed, because of its large leaves and red 
stems.
So veggies can be ornamental, too, though I also plant lots of flowers. 
Right now, the roses and lilies are coming into bloom, and the mockorange is 
just finishing up.  Very nice.
Tracy
